This is my story.

 I am doing this sponsored cycle with Transaid, with support from the team at Go Ahead group, as it is something I hold dearly in my heart. 

How many of us have needed to go to hospital, and just caught a taxi or drove there? Or needed to pop to the shops, and just quickly jumped in the car? Or caught the bus into a town, and not given it a second thought. I did, well I used too.

 Then I went to a place, where roads where mud drifts 6ft high. Water and sink holes the size of boulders on the "main track" which is used by hundreds, if not thousands of people at the same time to transport food, water and medicine.

 A place where accidents happen every day because conditions are so poor, where children play not knowing the dangers that they face because there's no separation from road, to playground. A place where you couldnt just drive somewhere without risking yours and others lives in doing so, without the safety of the tarmac underneath you.

Transaid are doing this remarkable thing, which is enriching the lives and ensuring the futures for generations to come, in the sense of putting one of the most important parts of infrastructure there is in countries where it is needed most. Roads. Roads to transport vital medicines, roads to give urgent medical assistance, roads to transport water, food and supplies to the most derelict of places. Roads to provide security and hope to some of the most deprived people on the planet. Roads to build futures across a country where hope, is a pipe dream. And in doing so, making that dream a reality, for all future generations to come. 

For this cause I have pledged to raise a minimum of 1000 pounds to help in the fight for transport in these third world countries where the most basic of necessities is a mission in itself. These people are wishing for a miracle, and they don't have the "yellow brick road" to follow.
